IMHO, the user _has_ to decide it. For example, I prefer PGP/MIME for
mail, but when I use PGP for Usenet (I usually don't, but that's another
story), I want RFC1991 PGP.

I can prefer having PGP/MIME for one recipient, and old style PGP for
another. It may be really useful, so why eliminating this option (why
removing options anyway -- it's the Outlook way, we all know, in what it
results)?

BTW, the behaviour, you want, can be made through hooks.
